24 alternatives to A high performance airplane for the price of a luxury car
The Light Sport Aircraft category was created by the FAA in 2004 with the hopes that it would lead to the first affordable airplanes. By lowering restrictions for LSA’s, it was predicted that planes would be able to sell for around $60,000. 9 years later, none of the big players in the industry have been able to accomplish this. Cessna made its Skycatcher, which was supposed to sell for under $100,000. It launched in 2007 at $110,000, and has since increased its price up to $150,000. Several, better attempts at an affordable LSA have been made since then, but decent planes have struggled to…

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

WhatsNew?▲112Hey HN, I built FlyingStart to help indie makers and startup founders launch with a memorable brand identity, without wasting days (or weeks) hunting for a good name that’s actually available. Every name on FlyingStart is unique, brandable, and comes with a matching domain, ready to use out of the box. Unlike typical domain marketplaces, none of our names exceed $1,000 — we keep prices low so you can invest your money where it matters most: your product. I created this because I’ve seen too many founders get stuck at step one — the name. FlyingStart aims to remove that friction so you can…

Hello, I'd like to share a 3D plane tracking web app that I developed called: skies-adsb. Living near KMIA (a very busy airport), I spend a lot of time plane spotting and thought it would be cool to track planes in 3D. In October 2021, I built a prototype 3D ADS-B flight tracker called skies-adsb using p5.js. In April 2022, I released version 1.0 of skies-adsb, rewritten in Three.js. However, this release still relied on manual editing of GeoJSON layers. By late 2024, I had learned enough about GIS and GeoPandas to automate map creation using custom GeoJSON layers. During the Christmas…
